4.3.16.342.1 Content

This code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-subcomponent-type defines the following codes:

Code	Display	Definition
RiskOfBias	Risk of bias	methodologic concerns reducing internal validity.
Inconsistency	Inconsistency	concerns that findings are not similar enough to support certainty.
Indirectness	Indirectness	concerns reducing external validity.
Imprecision	Imprecision	fuzzy or wide variability.
PublicationBias	Publication bias	likelihood that what is published misrepresents what is available to publish.
DoseResponseGradient	Dose response gradient	higher certainty due to dose response relationship.
PlausibleConfounding	Plausible confounding	higher certainty due to risk of bias in opposite direction.
LargeEffect	Large effect	higher certainty due to large effect size.
